But Trump is such a misogynist that it would be tough for him to pick any woman.

From Drumpf's point of view, Joni is waaay too old, certainly not "hot" enough, and most importantly, not telegenic.

It would be the second coming of Sarah Palin. The comparison would be made within minutes. The only difference is that Ernst isn't lazy.

I don't think so.

She is popular in Iowa and is thought to have a promising future ahead of her, thus she would (should) probably say no.

Now! Gov Fallin of Oklahoma shares many of Trump's values. Wants a wall. Hates immigrants. And she is reviled in her state for screwing things up. So not a lot of future there.

Thus she eagerly supports Trump and has indicated she would accept the VP position.
